WASHINGTON (AP) -- Vice presidential adviser I. Lewis "Scooter' Libby Jr.
was indicted Friday on charges of obstruction of justice, making a false
statement and perjury in the CIA leak case.

Karl Rove, President Bush's closest adviser, apparently escaped indictment
Friday but remained under investigation, his legal status a looming
political problem for the White House.

The indictments stem from a two-year investigation by special counsel
Patrick Fitzgerald into whether Rove, Libby or any other administration
officials knowingly revealed the identity of CIA agent Valerie Plame or lied
about their involvement to investigators.
